Louise Hay was my dear friend and mentor, and though she’s recently passed on, I feel her with me, and the influence of her work, more than ever.
Since the publication of her internationally bestselling book “You Can Heal Your Life” in 1984, Louise Hay has (she’s still doing it from the beyond!) been teaching and inspiring millions of people around the world.
Renowned for demonstrating the power of affirmations to bring about positive change, she was the author of more than 30 books for adults and children, as well as the founder of the publishing company Hay House (my publisher).
Louise was a firm believer that all of our physical problems were a result of our thinking. So if we were willing to do the mental and emotional work, anything could be healed. And she showed us this, by living her fullest to the wise age of 91.
She was a living example of her dedicated work, creating a legacy of positivity and inspiration, influencing many to follow a path of helping others, including me.
But she was also a huge proponent of encouraging others to help themselves.
You Can Heal Your Body
Louise knew the secret of the mind-body connection even before it started to become mentioned in more mainstream circles.
I remember her saying that she started with just a little pamphlet that she put together when teaching in small groups that listed some of the most common health issues and how to resolve them using specific affirmations.
That list grew into the book, “Heal Your Body”, indexing hundreds of ailments.
You looked up your specific health challenge, read the probable cause for the issue (stemming from a mental or emotional challenge), and applied the corresponding information to overcome it with a new thought pattern.
That book has sold millions of copies and has been used by people from around the world, with incredible success.
I’ve personally referred to it SO many times in the past twenty years. It’s simply an incredible piece of work.
Dinner with Louise
I remember the first dinner I had with Louise, in 2013. There she was, with her glass of red wine… and her glass of white wine (that’s how she made “rose” lol – not kidding!)
And about halfway through the dinner she turned to me and said, “Honey, what are we going to do together?” Meaning, what work will we create together.
I was FLOORED.
Really, Louise Hay asking to do something together?
Sadly, though we became friends over the coming years, we never pulled off a specific project together, though she did publish my books and support our work in a huge way (including generous donations to our TS Foundation to support the work in Newtown, CT).
But maybe not sadly…
Maybe she knew something I didn’t and was just waiting for the perfect time to combine EFT Tapping with her work.
Combining Tapping with Positive Affirmations
When I brainstormed our new Tapping Solution App, I wanted to include Louise’s work in some way, because I wanted to continue her legacy of helping others.
So here’s what I did…
Remember her book that I mentioned above, “Heal Your Body”? For each physical Problem, she included a Probable Cause (mental and/or emotional) plus a Solution (new thought pattern).
So I thought, what if we can combine BOTH Tapping and Positive Affirmations to create a symbiotic powerhouse that encourages your own body to heal!
We could tap OUT the negative mental and emotional causes, then tap IN the new positive affirmations that Louise indexes in her book.
I immediately called my dear friend Reid Tracy, President of Hay House, and Louise’s dearest friend for decades. I said, “Reid, what do you think about this idea? Do I have your permission and the permission of Hay House to do this?”
He kindly, generously, said yes.
And thus the “Heal Your Body” category of our Tapping Solution App was born.
The Tapping Solution App

P.S. The day the app launched, I went into NYC for a book launch party for my friend Danette May. Her new book, “The Rise”, was published by Hay House, so there were other Hay House authors and friends there.
I was standing in a small group including Danette, my friend Jim Kwik, and Patty Gift, Vice President at Hay House and I was telling them, and Patty specifically who was very close to Louise, about this set of meditations.
As I shared it with them and showed them the app and the meditations, I got the BIGGEST body chills I’ve ever experienced. Louise was there with us and I can feel the same thing as I write these words now.
I am beyond honored to continue expanding her work and legacy, and I hope these meditations help your body heal and connect with this incredible wisdom.
